Are you doing it by yourself with a bleeder kit? Have never had problems with bleeding brakes on nissan gq or gu even series 5 with abs. A incorrectly set wheel front wheel bearing can do this as the disc will sit further to the outside of the car and the caliper tries to make up the distance. Does...

Calipers were kitted out as well .

Here's hoping it's the pads!

I can't say I did.... Is there a trick to bleeding a master?

Yeah mate,
It was a bitch of a thing but I am confident I bled it well.
I might have to simply buy some fluid and vac bleed it as you say

Cheers

Guys, Just spent the day R&R just about everything on the GU. New slotted DBA rotors and TRW Pads. Caliper kits front and rear. Master was new maybe 6 months ago. Bled the damn thing about 5 times so far (including the proportioning valve) and now the pedal is worse than before, spongy and will ...

Morning gents, Small problem with the transfer pump in my 99 GU in that it seized the other day and required a little percussion to get working again... Has anyone replaced the pump with an aftermarket item or what would be a reasonable choice? I guess it doesn't have to be fast, just reliable! Brot...

I can help you with the locker problem. Similar issues with mine a few years ago and followed the advice of a member here who had fixed the problem once and for all.

Nope!! They aint router bits... They came out of the injector pump head after you removed the injector pipes from the rear of injector pump when you took it off motor. Dont worry about them tho....these little widgets are automatically replaced when the pump is overhauled. How do I know this??? Jus...

Beats the hell out of me :? No router to have bits laying around for here for miles and the hex is straight cut and not at all sharp. Apologies for the shaky pics... taken pre coffee this morning! I did discover that the 'hex' is a nice slip fit inside the 'button' though :oops: http://i41.photobuck...

Have removed the Vacuum and Injector pump from my 96 GQ and sent the pump off for repair.... Doing a big clean up before I start work again and found these laying under the front of the truck!! No bloody idea what they are or where they came from either :shock: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e269...

Had an interesting trip this arvo ... beetling along nicely and next minute there's green bloody coolant everywhere :oops: Pop the bonnet and bugger me, the top radiator hose is off and taken most of the plastic fitting with it .... just enough to sneak the hose back on and top up to get me out of s...

They did and do work as they should in between failures..... just strikes me as bizarre given the standard style relay rarely fails.

Just wondered if it could be the HID ballasts feeding back into the relay

99 GU Patrol running 2 50W HID's in Hella 4000 cases. Am using a standard relay @ 30A. When they fail, I can hear the relay click but checking it with the circuit tester it doesn't power the output pin. 85 Ground wire is good, checked it tonight and gave it a polish with wet and dry just in case. 86...

Just the relay

Is there a trick I am missing?
Just buggered up my second one now.... first was a no name cheapie but the second a Hella 30A jobbie. Both seem to click on power but don't switch.

Anyone else fried one for no apparent reason?

Cheers

I tried tapping off the dimmer when I fitted mine up and be damned if it didn't work arse about face to the dash.

Couldn't get power off either of the other 2 wires so I gave up and found one elsewhere.

Thanks a heap bloke

Just had a look at the whiteline website http://www.whiteline.com.au/ and came up with Code: #KLC061 for a 100mm lift.

Looks to be the goods by your pic above.

Gents, What are my options (brand and price) for replacing these? The originals broke on one side not long after I bought the car and without thinking too long and hard, I bought another set from Pedders which broke a while ago. I have been running without them but to me, the car feels a bit unsure ...

Hi gents, Bought a new protector for the patrol, fitted the bastard only to have it fall out ten minutes later... Try as I might I can't tighten the screws into the plug hard enough to make it grip the matching hole in the underside of the bonnet any better than mediocre. Have tried silicon etc for ...

Gents,
Noticed this in my truck the other day... the damn seat rail seems to be loose closest to the door. All bolts are tight so it seems the problem is between the two rails.

Anyone seen the problem before and is it fixable or a replace job?

Cheers
Dan

Will give it a burl
Thanks gents

Is it possible to retension the retractable seatbelts in a GU? My drivers side isas sluggish as buggery to retract itself... even when guided back into the slot. Probably not a big issue but I have already slammed the damn door on the buckle a few times :bad-words: If not, Will the belts from the th...

did a quick search and couldnt find any info on the +80's any1 got a link or know the specs? Fitted them to my Hilux yesterday, they seem to be OK. sierrajim any more thoughts on the plus 80's? Heading into darwin tomorrow and will either chase these or bite the bullet and buy the IPF Fatboys :? De...

Well it's fixed

Ran the tanks almost dry on bio and topped off with regular pump diesel and the problem disappeared. New fuel filter and no dramas since. I guess next time I will try Ausfuels 80/20 rather than 100% Bio.

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for the replies gents. Will ring the servo and check on the ratios but iirc there were 2 pumps.... One was 80/20 and the other 100% Bio which is what I filled up with

(probably not a great idea it seems)

Hey all, Recently put commercial Biodiesel in my TD42T and now the damn thing wants to run on when the key is turned off. Only runs on for a few seconds but it shouldn't do it at all!! Tanks are not low enough at this stage for me to dilute the bio out with normal pump diesel enough for me to be con...

One for me please

Heres a shot of the one in my old GQ.... Worked an absolute pisser.
Lock was on or off in less than a full rotation of the wheels. Silicon over the crews is there to stop them falling out

Mine did perzacly the same bloody thing last night.... Ratted around under the bonnet, found the offending fuse under the plastic cover beside the damn battery (Not marked)

Dropped a 10A fuse in *Pop*
Dropped in a 15

If another GB goes ahead, puy me down for one ...
Or if Bogged still has a spare I will take it if Dan doesn't
